2. Andrew Luck

Luck has faced the Cardinals once, in 2013 at University of Phoenix Stadium, and it didn’t turn out well for him.  The Cardinals beat the Indianapolis Colts 40-11.

That afternoon Luck went 20-39 for just 167-yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Cardinals though will get him at Lucas Oil Stadium this season.

It remains to be seen which Luck the Cardinals will see?  The one from last season when he threw for 31 touchdowns and 13 interceptions?  Despite a 8-7 record in 15 starts last season, he still had very good numbers.

He had a career-high pass completion percentage of 63.5 last season.  He was sacked 41 times though.  The Cardinals pass rush could have a field day with the Colts offensive line.

Don’t let his size fool you though, Luck can run with the ball as well.  He rushed for 341-yards and two touchdowns in 2016.
